(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Seth Rogens character in The Green Hornet is just a common man who is lucky he didnt get killed, claims his co-star Cameron Diaz.

Cameron believes that Seths character Britt Reid is hilarious because he has no super powers, yet he wants to become an action hero.

The Green Hornet tells the story of a man who is left a fortune when his father dies and decides to create a superhero-like crime fighting team with the money.

The actress plays brilliant secretary Lenore Case in the movie and believes Seth is perfect for the role because he knows how to ridicule himself.

Hes not a super hero, hes just a common man who is lucky he didnt get killed in his capers - thats the great thing about it, there is no super strengths... Britt is smart enough to know hes not smart enough, so he gets Lenore, and hes smart enough to know hes not physically capable, so he gets Kato to fulfil his fantasy, Cameron told BBC News. And so thats why Seth works so well in this, because he knows how to play that guy who is self-deprecating.

In the movie Britt constantly disagrees with his sidekick Kato, played by Jay Chou.

It is that straight-forward idea that Seth believes is at the heart of the movies beauty.

It was a long road but ultimately the idea was always the same, I think thats why it stuck around. The idea of a hero and a sidekick who doesnt get along very well that was always just a simple funny idea to us, Seth said. As tough as things got directors came and went and actors came and went that idea was always the same from the very beginning and so I think thats what gave it the ability to keep inching forward.
